circle of truth

today's my parents' wedding anniversary! AH its late, but im kinda relieved cos this morning i was just panicking over BU and now hazwan helped me sort it out. at The Next Change today we had Juwita and Liang, she's the vocal trainer for malaysian idol. i thought it was kinda OTT but it reminded me that worship takes on many many forms. yes, tomorrow i have a usp esssay to write and more bu to study for.. but im still relieved. one day at a time! -take a deep breath-.

had dinner with shihui today, tried speaking in chinese to her cos she's more comfortable with it, but kinda failed. hahaha. as usual. i sure hope she'l fit in well in zhonyun's cell. i found this poem when i rummaged to my old diaries. cant remember if it is directed at anyone in particular, actually, its God. but it can be read secularly too.

locket.

you hold me together from the inside,
like a locket under my shirt
with pictures of us pinned firmly on the inmost halves.

you are anchoring truth,
even if surface waters travail and gallop
like horses skidding past
deep down i feel rooted and secure.

you are entangling like seaweed
around my ankles in green sea water,
thought of you encircles my mind
-and circles do not end.

you twirl, and my world spins,
you sit, and i am still.
you touch me, and my insides are awash with flames of colour.

at night i close my eyes
and reach for your hand,
and in the spread of darkness
you are my comforter dousing all my fears.
